Apple Pie Eating Competition

READY, SET, PIE!

Think you have what it takes to be crowned the Erie County Fair’s Apple Pie Eating Champion?

Get ready for a deliciously competitive showdown celebrating one of America’s most iconic desserts! Ten contestants will each receive an identical apple pie and have five minutes to eat as much pie as possible. But there’s a catch, no utensils and no hands! Contestants must keep their hands behind their backs throughout the competition.

At the end of five minutes, our judges will determine who consumed the most pie. The contestant who eats the most will be crowned the Erie County Fair Apple Pie Eating Contest Champion!
